It's time for a flag for all Australians

A flag for all of us

We're a country forged by pioneers. From the first Australians arriving sixty thousand years ago, to our newest citizens arriving from across the globe, we all call Australia home.

The colonial flag represents less and less of the true breadth and diversity of the Australian community, and the character of our nation.

We're stronger because of our diversity, not in spite of it. We're united not by a common ancestry, but a common home.

Now, more than ever, it's time for a flag that represents all Australians.

The Unity Flag

Drawn from our origins

Its elements feel familiar, drawing on historic symbols. Honouring the flag of the last century, and introducing a chevron, a golden boomerang, pointing to a brighter dawn.

First Australians first

Federation brought the states of Australia together, but it was a process that left out Australia's first peoples.

Adding a first point for First Australians, we continue our progress to a united Australia, and recognise the worlds oldest continuous culture, like we should in our Parliament.

The eight pointed star

Fifty years before our seven pointed star, the eight pointed star became one of our oldest symbols of Australian democracy and Australian independence.
